Hey there, party lovers! After delivering a whirlwind of performances at London’s Wireless Festival, Drake decided to keep the vibes rolling with an exclusive afterparty on Saturday night. The Canadian rap icon reportedly transformed Mr Porter in Mayfair into the ultimate celebrity hotspot, and let’s just say, the guest list was as hot as his tracks.
According to sources, Drake rolled in around midnight after back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, ready to let loose. The bash kept going until the sun nearly came up - we’re talking 6am, folks! No wonder The Sun hinted he might’ve needed a little extra shut-eye before his final set on Sunday.
Spotted among the glitzy crowd were Hollywood heavyweights like Casey Affleck and Sacha Baron Cohen, alongside OnlyFans star Lily Phillips, who added an extra dash of spice to the night. Talk about a mix of star power and intrigue - we’re dying to know what convos went down!
Now, let’s rewind a bit to the Wireless Festival at Finsbury Park, where things weren’t quite as smooth as Drake’s signature flow. Fans were buzzing with disappointment after his Sunday headline set lasted a mere 40 minutes - cut short by a strict 9:30pm curfew. To top it off, the rapper started 10 minutes early, leaving thousands still stuck outside in chaotic queues.
Getting into the venue was a whole other drama. TikTok videos showed shoulder-to-shoulder crowds begging security to let them in, while VIP guests told MailOnline they waited up to three hours before giving up and heading home. One frustrated attendee spilled, “It felt dangerous with everyone pushing - we just left without even seeing inside.”
Social media was ablaze with complaints, from fights breaking out to VIP areas running dry on drinks. Another fan vented on X, slamming the crowd management as a total mess. It’s safe to say, the festival left a sour taste for many who missed out on seeing their fave perform.
Despite the chaos, Drake tried to make the most of his limited stage time on Sunday. He kicked off with an unreleased collab with British rapper Central Cee - though Cee stayed in the front row, mouthing along on the big screens. The crowd got a quick medley of hits like Controlla and One Dance, but the rushed remixes had some fans raising eyebrows.
Adding a bit of flair, Drake brought out Nigerian star Rema for crowd-pleasers like Calm Down, alongside Jamaican dancehall legend Vybz Kartel and Popcaan. Yet, compared to Saturday’s 90-minute set with 12 guests, this felt like a teaser. Drake seemed apologetic, promising London, “I will love you for the rest of my life,” as he raced through his tracks.
“I’m gonna keep going until they cut me off - let’s make the most of every second!”
That’s what Drake told the crowd, per attendees, as he battled the looming curfew. Wrapping up, he took to a crane to wave goodbye to 50,000 fans while Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You played - a bittersweet end. Fans told the BBC they spent more time queuing than watching him, with exit chaos adding insult to injury as some were held back by security.
After a weekend of highs and lows, Drake’s Wireless residency has left us with plenty to unpack. From a party that had everyone talking to a festival experience that fell short for many, the Toronto star still knows how to keep us on our toes. Could he be planning something big to make up for the short set? We’re all ears!
MailOnline has reached out to Wireless Festival and Drake’s team for comment, so stay tuned for updates. For now, we’re just picturing those late-night Mayfair vibes - and wondering if Drake’s got some “sexy songs” up his sleeve, as teased in recent clips. What do you think, fam?
